  • Is this in response to a thing going around Christian circles where they say the Bible contains 65,000 hyperlinks, and humans couldn’t have done that so it must have been God?

    This “hyperlink” business is based on a similar graphic that someone put together and it really is pretty. Each “hyperlink” is supposedly a part of the Bible that references another part of the Bible. But I could never find their data, although they sell a print of the graphic.

    I did once find a website that documented 100,000 Bible “hyperlinks” and the data there is absolutely a joke. Like, any verse that mentions the word “good” is a hyperlink to every other verse that uses that word

    There are people who think urine is healthy and, I guess, drink it or something. I used to have a screenshot of a Facebook post where someone asked their fellow urine lovers if they ever put it in a humidifier and there were a lot of replies about how to best do it













  • I’m sure to get dumped on for saying this but ya’ll need to chill out. President’s generally have authority to carry out military strikes. I can’t think of one in my lifetime that didn’t bomb somebody without congressional approval beforehand. Declaring war is a different matter but all the differences and nuances and where exactly the lines are, is not something courts have ever really figured out.

    This impeachment resolution specifically said he declared war and he should be impeached because it’s Congress’ job to declare war. That’s the entirety of the complaint. It’s short. And it’s lazy. He didn’t declare war. He certainly risked starting a war, but he didn’t declare one. Democrats would have looked stupid for impeaching him for something he didn’t actually do and it would have failed just on the language alone. It did fail. And it should have.

    All this ‘democrats are traitors’ or ‘they’re supporting fascism’ or ‘stabbing us in the back’ is crazy. They put forth a really bad impeachment resolution and it got shot down. You should be mad at AOC and Green for putting up a horrible impeachment resolution. It probably looked better last week when it looked like a real war might happen, but I don’t see anything impeachable here. If there is something, it’s deep and nuanced, it’s something that no one has ever agreed on the interpretation of, it’s something that Congress has let Presidents get away with for decades.

    We’re not getting rid of this asshole by persuading the public that he disobeyed some highly nuanced technicality that nobody even agrees on. Shit, I’m getting sleepy just thinking about listening to a congressional hearing on it.
